'Chef' is a flavourful journey of self-discovery

Director Raja Krishna Menon's 'Chef' will see Saif Ali Khan as Roshan Kalra, a celebrated chef from New York's famous Galli restaurant. The story revolves around his journey of self-discovery, which commences when he loses his job.

At the age of 10, Roshan runs away from his home in Delhi's Chandni Chowk to take up employment at a chole-bhature stall in another city. He returns to his hometown 30 years later, this time as the owner of a popular food truck, with a family in tow.

His food truck takes off from Kochi and travels across the country, before reaching the Capital. The film's narrative is set against a road trip, and during the journey, flavours of local cuisines, where the truck stops are discovered.

It has been produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vikram Malhotra and Janani Ravichandran along with Raja.
